Georgia football podcast: Mixed opinions regarding JT Daniels’ outlook ahead of pivotal season

Beginning of the show: Georgia quarterback JT Daniels has been commonly praised throughout the offseason as a possible Heisman candidate and potential first-round pick. However, not all media outlets are apparently as bullish on his outlook. Pro Football Focus’ Anthony Treash recently offered a harsh evaluation of Daniels for the upcoming season on the basis of what Daniels has previously done during his college career -- over a four-game span for the Bulldogs last season and as a freshman starter for USC in 2018. I’ll discuss on today’s show why it’s too early to know which of the opinions regarding Daniels are proven true, and I’ll explain why UGA coach Kirby Smart’s confidence in Daniels should matter in the discussion.
